On 27 sport facilities that were built to the Univresiade in Kazan, today there are held the different level competitions.

Are there any questions on this item? On this item there were no questions. President of Association professor Kairat Zakiryanov gave the floor to the N. Nurgaliev to speak on the second item of agenda. 3. K. Nurgaliev the representative of the Kazakh Academy of Sport and Tourism informed that in international practice, including in the European Higher Education Area (Bologna Process), the main form of quality assurance of educational services is the accreditation process. Accreditation is the process by which the accreditation body assesses the quality of the universities activity as a whole or its individual educational programs for the recognition of their conformity to certain standards and criteria. There are the following forms of accreditation: institutional accreditation, specialized accreditation, national accreditation, international accreditation. Institutional accreditation is conducting the accreditation of educational organization in general. Specialized accreditation is the accreditation of educational professional programs. National accreditation is an accreditation of the educational organization or the programs within the country. International accreditation makes the accreditation of universities or specific educational and professional programs in the foreign agency.

Ensuring the quality of higher education is based on the following principles: the procedure of universities accreditation is conducted on a voluntary basis; the main responsibility for the quality of higher education is laid to the organization of education; an external evaluation is carried out objectively, transparently and independently from a third party (government agencies, universities and public organizations). The absence of an independent accreditation body, which deals with specialized and international accreditation in the field of physical culture and sport, makes the relevance of establishing such an agency. Are there any questions on this item? S. Seiranov Rector of the Moscow State Academy of Physical Culture (Russia) asked question concerning this item of agenda: Russia has not canceled the mechanism, which consisted of three stages: licensing, certification and accreditation. Now there are two: the licensing and accreditation. State accreditation are held every five years and required to undergo accreditation public universities and also the private ones. State accreditation entitles universities to issue a state diploma. All universities must adhere to state educational standards. There is a set list of accreditation indicators that university should be run. As I understood, in Kazakhstan in 2015 the concept of a state diploma will be cancelled, and each university will issue their own diplomas and there will not be unique state educational standards, i.e. each university may have their own educational standards for various educational programs and they can teach according them. Will the established accreditation agency replace the existing state accreditation agency? - K. Zakiryanov: Accreditation is a voluntary procedure. University which has passed the international accreditation will raise its own credit rating. President of the Association, Professor K. Zakiryanov gave the floor to the Executive Director of the Association to professor A. Makogonov to speak on the third item on the agenda. 4. Executive Director, Association professor A. Makogonov informed about the publication of scientific-theoretical journal of the Association at regular intervals 2 times a year to raise the level of professional recognition of scientists universities, members of the International Association of Physical Education and Sport Universities and the release of their scientific research at the international level. Publication in the Journal of the Association will enable scientists and researchers in the field of sports science to be recognized and acknowledged in the world scientific community. This will give the opportunity to raise personal impact factor of each author of the journal, because it will increase the level of citations of published works.

Journal of the Association will be represented in the libraries of the leading sports universities in Europe, Asia and America. All articles must pass peer review and presented in English, it should conform to the requirements and parameters of international publications. Scientific Editorial Board after the conclusion of the expert reserves has the right to choose, which articles will be published. All costs associated with the publication of the journal, translation, shipment, payment for their review, the Association will undertake it through the solidarity contribution of all universities - members of the Association. Oriented value of all costs associated with publishing and shipment of the journal in color will be 100 U.S. dollars for one copy. Accordingly, the cost of 100 copies will be 10,000 U.S. dollars. The cost of printing the journal with the ordinary print (50% black and white version and 50% color version) and other related expenses will be 60 U.S. dollars for one copy. Thus, the expenses of each university (in condition of participation in it at least 30 universities) will be from 200 to 350 U.S. dollars for publication of the journal in 100 copies. Are there any questions on this item? On this point the question asked S. Seiranov, Rector of the Moscow State Academy of Physical Culture (Russia): in which language will be published the journal? The journal will be published in two languages: Russian and English. On this point, V. Platonov - Rector of National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine expressed his point of view: the idea to publish a scientific journal, which will publish all those achievements, that are characteristic to the members of the Association, where you have a large number of high-class specialists, they all will be able to publish their works in one publication is a great idea. But it should work on our market, not the entire world. We need to create journal, which will be focused on the needs of the community, which constitutes the backbone of the Association. Others agreed with this opinion and decided to entrust the publication of the journal to the Volga Region State Academy of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism. 5.
